ABOUT JUSTIN
Hey, hello! Welcome to Justin Showell’s website! Justin is an actor, singer, dancer, lover, among other things. He feels the arts are a place for all humankind to come together, learn and rejoice (sort of like church). It is his life’s plan to be a part of that in any way that he can.
Justin is a born and raised Marylander. He attended high school at Walnut Hill Boarding School for the Arts (Natick, MA) and college at the University of Michigan, class of 2019, with a BFA in Musical Theatre.
“The war of an artist with his society is a lover’s war, as he does at his best, what lovers do…” - James Baldwin
